Shank's 8 fl. oz. Pure Orange Extract is a fantastic kitchen essential! Its vibrant, sweet-tart orange flavor elevates cakes, cookies, frostings, and beverages like smoothies or cocktails. Gluten-free and free of zest’s bitterness, it blends seamlessly into glazes and marinades

Love singing the praise of Shank's extracts! The orange extract is lovely and is great to use in simple syrups or in baked goods. We use it to do a holiday orange simple syrup for chocolate orange lattes, and also for baking various breads, cookies and pastries with a lovely orange flavor. Pairs particularly well with the Regal cardamom (whole or ground) that you can get on Webstaurant as well. Highly recommend!

This was a great find, as orange extract is not one of the easiest extracts to find. I have used this extract in several recipes, and it gave each of my recipes, a very natural citrus essence.

This is by far the best Orange flavoring I have used, it's not thick and gel type like others on the market. This orange extract makes my Orange Cream Cheese icing amazing. nd it comes in a large bottle so that you don't have to order every time you turn around. you won't be sorry if you purchase this item

This is hands down one of the best orange extracts on the market. It's the same price as a small 2 oz bottle I typically buy from Watkins AND it doesn't have that cheap alcohol smell or taste to it. I use it in my royal icing and find it is a nice complement to the cookie without being overpowering.

We been buying this product for a long time already. Some other brands of orange extracts tend to have a lot of alcohol but not this brand. We bake with it and get a lot of complements about the aroma and flavor of our cookies. Very happy with this product....

We use these bottles of orange extract for flavoring frostings and glazes. It's concentrated so it goes far and since it's pure and natural it doesn't taste like artificial flavoring.

The secret ingredient in my orange beef & orange chicken recipes. Well…I guess its no longer a secret…LOL! It has a great flavor, but be careful to use in small amounts or the orange flavor will take over.

As a huge fan of citrus flavors, this orange extract was the perfect addition to my pound cake recipe. Not only is it deliciously aromatic, but one can also taste the orange flavor. This extract also goes well with chocolate ganache for truffles or for pouring over a cake. What's more is that you can't beat the price. I will be ordering this again in the future.

I make orange-covered chocolate fudge for my candy business-a LOT of it-and Shank's Orange Extract is a great quality extract at a great price. Also, it is in a large size, which means I won't have to shop as often for it. If I purchased the "other" brand orange extract at my local grocery store in their tiny little bottle, my costs would go WAY UP. I was very glad to see that Webstaurant had this item available!

I bought this to add some flavor to my drink, but it's just not right. It just tastes like alcohol, nothing like orange. I wanted more authentic taste in my drink, so I bought this in place of orange syrup. However, the worst choice I had made.
